Ridiculous that young people, who are not able to drive as a means of transport, are so often excluded from conversations around concessionary bus travel. We need free bus travel for young people, disabled people, and the elderly as standard - not based on a postcode lottery.

After months of delay, the Warm Homes Plan was finally published yesterday. While the Plan is a very welcome step in tackling fuel poverty and upgrading our housing stock, there is still much more to do to make our homes truly fit for the future.
We all want to see a more efficient and productive court system - but scrapping jury trials, a fundamental right and cornerstone of our democracy, won't accomplish this.
For over a year the UK govt has taken no serious action as the US and Israel flouted international law with impunity. Despite it becoming increasingly clear our inaction has only emboldened the two nations, the govt still refuse to condemn the illegal US/Israeli strikes on Iran.
The govt must do more than express concern over the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank - they must take action. Ban trade with illegal settlements and impose new sanctions on Netanyahu and all responsible for this violence.
It shouldn't take an MP intervening in a complaint for the DVLA to finally respond to an individual - but for 18 of my constituents, this has been the only way to get a response. The system must work better to ensure timely responses to the public.
Work to tackle sewage pollution and agricultural pollution must go hand in hand if we are to truly clean up our waterways - that means both taking water companies into public ownership and supporting farmers to transition to river-friendly farming methods.
The brave Iranian protestors deserve the UK's full support in their fight against the horrific regime - and this includes the UK committing not to support or enable actors such as the US in violating international law through any actions in Iran.
I welcome the Rycroft Review and the action the govt has taken on crypto and overseas donations - but there is so much more to do to root out foreign interference in our democracy. I'll keep pushing on this in Committee for the Representation of the People Bill.
Pitching development against defence is utterly short-sighted; we will not make Britain safer by making the rest of the world less secure.
The fuel price shock we're seeing now demonstrates just how risky our continued dependence on oil and gas is for British households. The govt must do all it can to bring down energy costs - decouple the price of electricity from gas and wean us off dirty volatile fossil fuels.

Putin says everyone wanted to “grab something from Russia” and asks why Finland joined NATO if there were no territorial disputes. Pesky Finns. Did you really join NATO just to snatch a piece of Russia? Hope you were aiming for a big one😁

Wembanyama’s 43‑foot heave at the halftime buzzer is now the Spurs’ No. 3 longest playoff field goal in the play‑by‑play era (since 1996–97). Manu Ginóbili has the 2 longest heaves: - 52‑footer on May 22, 2005 (Game 1 vs. Phoenix) - 49‑footer on April 29, 2011 (Game 6 vs. Memphis) #NBA

Putin demands Russia be given drone wreckage that crashed in Romania 😆 According to Putin, the drone’s origin can only be determined after a proper investigation, and the wreckage should be handed over to Russia for examination. It's most effective to investigate your own crimes 😂 #Russia #Putin
By pritpalsingh143 and others, novabeyond_0 Ana Kasparian sparked massive debate after suggesting Pakistan should hand nuclear weapons to Iran to end conflict. Kasparian argued Iran’s nuke are used more as a “scare tactic” than a direct threat Russia and China can also supply Nukes to Iran
I promise, sometimes we get things done. But also sometimes things are silly and unhinged. I guess both is possible, right? 😂 This was when Monday was too hard and the hubs made a guest appearance with a dino puppet

Our joke of an acting AG—who “happens” to be Trump’s former personal attorney—just gave his boss a lifelong get out of jail free card (which also applies to Trump’s family and businesses.) Doesn’t get any more corrupt than that.
